Did I strangle you with my love?

Think I saw it wrapped around your throat

The last time I saw you, you looked so pale

And white just like a ghost

It was fine for about 5 little minutes

And then you cleared your throat

My eyes swelled up, I curled my toes

And you said I almost choked

And you said I almost choked

But honey why did you go

Behind the bunhouse?

Didn't you know how much I had to give?

You knocked me over the head

With a rolling pin

And then you got down and you kicked me in the ribs

The penny dropped even before I clocked

Just where your hands had been

It's like you'd done your hair for somebody else

Scared that you might have been seen

I slipped down a flight of stairs

And my face must have looked so long

Cos even the tosser with the saxophone

Was asking me what's wrong

He said "buddy, what is wrong?"

Honey why did you go

Behind the bunhouse?

Didn't you know how much I had to give?

You knocked me over the head

With a rolling pin

And then you got down and you kicked me in the ribs

Please won't you spare me the details

Before I get up and I go

Who was it that stabbed me in the back

Or do you think I ought not to know?

You see the way I was before we met

I was curled up in a shell

And if I'm not counting planes up in the sky

Then I'm falling down a well

I'm at the bottom of a well

Honey why did you go

Behind the bunhouse?

Didn't you know how much I had to give?

You knocked me over the head

With a rolling pin

And then you got down and you kicked me in the ribs
